Citizen Journalism

Bloggers and others gathered in the Donald R. Wright Auditorium at Pasadena Central Library to hear Larry discuss the changing face of professional journalism today and how the average joe can become a competent citizen reporter via blogs, Facebook, cell phones and other social media.

Dean teaches a free class for current and budding citizen reporters every Tuesday at 6 p.m. at 2057 N. Los Robles Ave., at the southwest corner of Los Robles and Woodbury. It's on the first floor of the two-story building (you can't miss it: It has "City of Pasadena" in great big letters). This is where our KPAS studio is!

it was an excellent presentation by both speakers. Dean Lee was very thought provoking. Larry Wilson was too, but it was also very interesting to hear him tell of his career. i did not remember that he was a founder of Pasadena Weekly. It was a great evening. I look forward to the one next month with Andre Coleman, who is a top-notch journalist.
